Here we describe a new springtail species found on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island. The new species, Folsomotoma punctata, is known from sub-Antarctic South Georgia, but this is a first occurrence […]
This report describes the development of the Data Acquisition and Metadata Platform (DAMP), a real time sensor logging system created by BAS and NOC for use on NERC’s deep-water research […]
Sea surface temperature is a key indicator of climate change on Earth and is central to all related modelling endeavours. However, sea surface temperature is notoriously difficult to reconstruct accurately […]
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are present in all ecosystems and encode the defences that microorganisms have naturally evolved to defend themselves against antimicrobial agents. The use and synthesis of antibiotics […]
Demersal fish are a critical component of Antarctic marine ecosystems and may consume large quantities of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), placing them at risk from competition with commercial krill fishing. […]
Bobtail squids from the genera Sepiola spp. are known for their association with the bioluminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri and V. logei. Although the ecology and behaviour of the bobtail squids […]
Icebergs that ground on the submarine Bear Ridge in the Amundsen Sea are known to block the drift of sea ice, playing a crucial role in maintaining shelf sea ocean […]
Antarctica’s compositionally and functionally unusual biodiversity is typically neglected in global biodiversity analyses, and ecological theory is rarely applied in the Antarctic context. These omissions mean that predictions of the […]
The Arctic is warming rapidly, with atmospheric rivers (ARs) amplifying ice melt, extreme precipitation, and abrupt temperature shifts. Detecting ARs in the Arctic remains challenging, because AR detection algorithms designed […]
The application of very high-resolution satellite imagery for the purpose of studying wildlife, particularly in remote regions, has gained significant traction in recent years. With this, there has been an […]
South Georgia lies in a remote position in the circumpolar South Atlantic and forms one of the most isolated continental fragments on Earth. The basement geology of South Georgia is […]
The stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), crucial for predicting future sea-level rise, is threatened by ocean-forced melting in the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. While some […]
